The effects of land cover on LST have been found varying with season. Yet the seasonal dynamics of the relationship between metrics measured landscape pattern and LST has seldom been investigated. This study used a seasonal series of Landsat TM/ETM+ images in the year 2002 to examine the landscape pattern-LST relationship in Xiamen city. Landscape metrics and partial Pearson correlation were employed...
This paper proposed a quantitative method of land use change trajectory, which means the succession among different land use types across time, to examine the effects of urbanization on an urban heat island (UHI). To accomplish this, multi-temporal images from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) of Xiamen City in China from 1987 to 2007 were selected....
Public debates recently arise about the urban heat island (UHI) effect in Lijiang City on the glacier retreatment in Yulong Snow Mountain. To provide some scientific supports, this study used thermal remote sensing to analyze the effects of both UHI and thermal pattern of the whole basin area to the glacier. The final conclusion is that urban heat island would not promote the glacier retreatment of...
Thermal landscape has been proved quite useful and valuable in assessing dynamics and driving forces of urban heat island (UHI). With its prevalence, several key problems have come forth as how to make out its extent when study cities. To investigate the differences between urban thermal landscape and landscape of UHI, a comparative study was carried out in Xiamen using a 20-year winter time-serial...
This study quantitatively analyzed the seasonal dynamics of urban heat island (UHI) in Xiamen City, using Landsat TM/ETM+ thermal images acquired on 5 different dates in the year 2002. Landscape metrics were utilized to quantify the changes, including PLAND, PD, CA, NP, P-UHI, NP-UHI, TA-UHI, PD-UHI etc. Results showed that, August UHI was spatially intensive in not only total area, but also the extent...
